gilanaI will be making my directorial debut with the Post-Meridian Radio Players in their Big Broadcast of 1946, to be performed at the Somerville Theatre this October!
My play is one of the "Tomes of Terror", a piece called But Oh, What Happened to Hutchings! Set in London in 1825, a divinity student gets more than he bargained for when he's befriended by a disreputable young doctor with a sideline in "cadaver acquisition" and a retired missionary with fond memories of his days proselytizing among the headhunters and cannibals. There's also a great tubercular landlady role. It's a really compelling script, with some good meat to the characters, and I'm very excited to try my hand at directing.
You can sign up to audition here. The talented and capable![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ayelle will be serving as my casting director, since I unfortunately have pre-existing conflicts that prevent me from being there for some of the audition times, but we're very much on the same page about what we're looking for, and the auditions will be recorded so I can hear them before we make call-back decisions. And I will be there for call-backs, so everyone we're seriously considering will have the chance to read for me in person. I have a lot of thoughts on how to make this show a positive experience for my actors; I hope you'll give some thought to auditioning!
